I am a Remedial Massage and Lymphatic Therapist based in the Huon Valley, with a background in yoga that continues to inform and shape my approach to bodywork. My journey into manual therapy grew from a deep interest in the body and its interconnected systems, and has evolved into a practice that is both clinically informed and intuitively guided.
My interest in the lymphatic system and lymphatic care is both professional and personal shaped by lived experience with inflammation and autoimmune conditions. With this I have developed a strong appreciation for the role of the lymphatic system in overall health. I have also seen the impact that lymphoedema and related conditions can have within the community, which drives my commitment to supporting clients through both treatment and education.
I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure each treatment is guided by their needs. This may include adapting techniques, referring on where appropriate, and liaising with other healthcare professionals to support a well-rounded and effective care plan.
My training in Dynamic Myofascial Mobilisation (DMM) was a transformative experience that continues to influence my work in a meaningful way. It deepened my understanding of the body through a somatic lens, allowing me to approach treatment in a way that is both precise and holistic. I integrate a range of techniques—including myofascial cupping, dry needling, and cranial-based approaches—to support the body’s natural capacity for healing and regulation.
Kahuna massage is offered as a distinct modality within my practice. I am deeply drawn to this work for its ability to support release of held patterns in the body and create space for renewal and integration. It offers a different quality of touch and presence that can help shift long-held physical and energetic holding, allowing for a greater sense of flow, openness, and internal reset.
My intention is to create a space where clients feel supported, informed, and connected to their bodies throughout their treatment journey.

As a massage therapist, I believe in empowering your body's inherent ability to heal itself. My role is to support you in unwinding, restoring balance, posture, vitality, and regulation of the nervous system. I approach the body holistically, addressing specific muscle tension while creating a safe environment for relaxation and mind-body connection. Drawing from various techniques, including remedial, deep tissue, Swedish, Balinese, trigger point, stretching and acupressure.
My interests vary from pain management, injury rehabilitation, deep relaxation, seniors, to expecting and new mothers. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care, welcoming clients of all ages, abilities, backgrounds, and identities. My treatments are adaptive, and I strive to honour your unique needs and life experience.
My own journey with chronic pain, adrenal fatigue, and digestion imbalance has fostered empathy and curiosity about the interconnectedness of body, mind and spirit. Bodywork has been a vital part of my own healing, which has led me to where I am today. I have many established relationships with local holistic practitioners, from physical and nutritional to emotional and energetic. I am eager to connect clients with the valley's wealth of knowledge.
I am committed to ongoing education; my practice is continually deepening and refining to provide the best possible care for my clients. This work is truly rewarding, and I’m so excited to share it with my community!

I’m a holistic bodyworker who is deeply fascinated by the intelligence of the human body—its capacity to soften, reorganise, and return to a natural state of ease when given the right support. My work weaves together intuitive listening, grounded clinical skills, and a respect for the subtle layers of the body where stress, emotion, and old patterning often live.
I have a particular passion for Kahuna bodywork, intra-oral TMJ release, visceral and abdominal massage, still and somatic work (in the lineage of craniosacral therapy), and external pelvic assessment and release. These modalities allow me to work in the more intrinsic spaces of the body—where tension often hides beneath the surface and meaningful shifts can occur.
Alongside this specialised work, I also offer remedial massage, dry needling, myofascial cupping, pregnancy massage, and relaxation treatments to support clients across a wide range of needs, from injury recovery to general wellbeing.
My intention is always the same: to help people feel resourced within their own bodies, untangled from the pressures and stress that accumulate over time, and more connected to a sense of internal spaciousness and steadiness.
I aim for each session to feel like a return—a coming home to the quiet wisdom within.
